I was deleting old files today and I found these. This is a cannon I designed / built last year. The renderings were generated with SolidWorks from the CAD drawings I designed to machine the individual parts. It old stuff now but, it was a lot of fun then. I decided to deposit the renderings here for posterity.

BTW....I have a letter from ATF stating that this device is LEGAL.

I've thought of it many times. With some minor internal changes (material substitution) this cannon could be converted to hybrid but, it would require a fast, continuous fuelling system. The problem is that I have no knowledge of fuels and fueling systems.
